TRANSCRIBER’S NOTEOriginal spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Errata mentioned in the endmatter of monthly issues have been ignored—left unchanged. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: “{52}”. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–30. The commas used to end several paragraphs by mistake, e.g. on page176,were changed to full stops. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for “newyorkjournalof11852newy”.Images were substituted for a few Unicode character glyphs not widely available in reader apps: U261b, ☛; U2114, ℔; U2125, ℥; U0292, ʒ; U211e, ℞; and U2108, ℈. Ditto marks, including “Do” or “do”, have been eliminated, replaced by repeated text. In a table on page130,white space was employed as a ditto mark. In this table, the white space ditto and “Nitrici” have been replaced with “Acidi hydro nitrici”.Page36.The formula for ordinary monohydrated bicarbonate of soda is retained. The phrase “lost by ignition; O. 845 grn.” was changed to “lost by ignition; 0.845 grn.”Page44.Large curly brackets “}” employed as graphic devices to indicate combination of information over two or more lines of text were eliminated. There were examples of this on pages 44 and58.The text was restructured as necessary to retain the evident meaning of the original brackets.Page63;“sufficient t supply” to “sufficient to supply”.Page70;added a full stop after “the doctor knows but little more”.Page81;“3nd” to “2nd”.Page86;“constitutents” to “constituents”.Page90;“exeoriating” to “excoriating”.Page100;“with fonr ounces” to “with four ounces”.Page110.The formula for valerianic acid is retained.Page122;“phrosphorus” to “phosphorus”.Page124;“a renecessary” to “are necessary”.Page126;“Anaethesia” to “Anaesthesia”.Page127;“engagaged” to “engaged”.Page142;“800 gains” to “800 grains”.Page167;“Chrysophi lum;” to “Chrysophi lum.;”.Page169;“fossœ”, retained, possibly should be “fossæ”.Page170;“over their property” is retained, but maybe should be “owe their property”.Page171;“represents 1-10 of its weight of matico” is retained.Page209;“gavity” to “gravity”.Page225.In the table row “Potassæ Nitrat.”, “3 98” was changed to “3.98”.Page228.In table row “——— Bi-tartrat.”, “ 45” was changed to “.45”. In row “Buchu”, “ 96” was changed to “.96”.Page243;“hyrate” to “hydrate”. The words “guarana” and “guaraná”, in various states of capitalization, have been retained as printed throughout the book.Page244;“imformation” was changed to “information”, and “knowlege” to “knowledge”. The word “angnlato” is retained, but possibly should be “angulato”.Page249;“Salpetre” to “Saltpetre”.Page250;“incoveniences” to “inconveniences”.Page254;“evarated” to “evaporated”.Page259;“preciptate” to “precipitate”.Page261;“qnantity” to “quantity”.Page278;“mannfacture” to “manufacture”.Page280;unmatched right parenthesis was removed from “part i., p. 22)”.Page287;“rceive” to “receive”.Page297;“atttched” to “attached”.Page302.The original quotation punctuation is retained, although it appears wrong.

Also, there is a letter to “Geo. D. Goggeshall”. The name has been retained on page 381, although the only other reference to “Goggeshall” was on page390—see below—where it was evidently wrong, and refers to “Coggeshall”.Page383.A matching right quotation mark was added to ‘say that the “bastard varietiessell at higherprices in proportion to theirresemblance to the officinal kinds?’.Page390.The name “Goggeshall” has been changed to “Coggeshall” on page 390 (Index of Authors) to conform with its position in the alphabetical list, and to agree with the names found on the referenced pages38and97.
